    John Hughes was the first director that focused on teen movies, and treated us with interest, validity, and respect. I was exactly his audience precisely when these movies came out, and I can't tell you the joy of feeling celebrated, the sense of possibility and understanding they caused in my friends and I. They were real and silly and genuine and funny and serious and outrageous, all the things we were. Let someone else direct teen movies filled with dark secrets and cynicism, Mr. Hughes would rather write love letters.

    Someone once explained to me they saw this film as one friend pulling another out of depression and once you watch the film a second time it changes everything. Ferris comes off as devil may care but he loves Cameron and tries to pull him out of his funk and his troubling relationship with his dad. Underneath all the hi jinks and absurdity it's actually very heartwarming.

    When I was a teenager back in the late 80's/early 90's, I had Ferris Bueller, Weird Science and Breakfast club taped onto one long play VHS cassette. Having had an abusive father at this time, and spent years being bullied at school, this one John Hughes compilation pretty much saved me. The scene at the end with Cameron and the car especially resonated with me, because of how Cameron finally decided to stand up to his unloving father, while admitting that he was done "being scared". Those three films were more than entertainment for me, they were therapy.

    The actor who played Cameron, Alan Ruck, was 29 when he starred in this film (Matthew Broderick by comparison, was 22 and Mia Sara was 19). He is one of those actors, much like Keanu Reeves, that seems to defy the aging process. Although he has gone full grey hair, he still looks rather youthful for a 67 year old. And the sister wasn't played by the girl who played Tia in Uncle Buck. That was Jean Louise Kelly. Kelly cameoed as Ice Man Kazansky's wife in Top Gun: Maverick. Jennifer Grey, Baby from Dirty Dancing, played Ferris's sister. And she looks unrecognizable today than she did in all those 80s and 90s films thanks to all the plastic surgeries she's had over the years.

    Hughes had a lot to say about school. It is worth noting the difference he paints here between the teens that are dutifully in school and learning nothing, while Ferris and crew are experiencing fine dining, dancing in a cultural parade, touring an art museum, going to a baseball game, lounging by the pool. Which day was better spent? Sitting in front of Ben Stein droning on while you drool on your notebook for six hours, or living a full day?
    What John Hughes tapped into with Ferris Bueller's free-wheeling, drink deeply from life celebration of youth set the ball for the 1989 Robin Williams film to spike for game/set/match with Dead Poets Society. Between Ferris Bueller, Breakfast Club, Top Gun, the Punk Rock movement, and Dead Poets society you find the four keys to understanding Gen X.

    John Hughes originally wrote Ferris Bueller's Day off for Anthony Michael Hall, who was Hughes' muse in the 1980s along with Molly Ringwald, having appeared in other John Hughes films like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. But Anthony Michael Hall turned down the role as he was involved in another project, and he'd also had a falling out with Hughes at the time, so Matthew Broderick was cast instead.

    One of the best comedies of the 80s. John Hughes did so many fantastic films back then Planes Trains and Automobiles, Pretty In Pink, Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Some Kind Of Wonderful, The Home Alone films and many more. The plot here lends itself to great comedy scenarios. Funniest parts are when Rooney keeps getting caught out. I saw this at the cinema on release, and the audience were nearly choking with laughter. A very poignant ending with Cameron going to stand up to his father. A shame John Hughes himself died very young only 59. Still he left a great legacy of films, of which this was one of his best.

And as someone from the Chicagoland are, that's always been so cool to me.

He'd be off in college and she'd be a high school senior, straining their relationship. I haven't seen this film in quite a while, so I don't remember how much this was talked about during the actual film. But I think she was just trying to support Cameron as a friend who needed help. And also wanting to make memories with Ferris before he go off to college without her.

      To be fair, that would be a dumb teenager.
      That doesn't really fit in with either Ferris nor Cameron.
      A little out of character, I'd say, in an otherwise flawless movie.

      @@sidnew2739 It's because older car models worked that way, the odometer was connected to the back wheels, which meant any reversing would reverse the odometer. It was then enforced that the odometer was to be connected to the front wheel's movement, meaning it couldn't be run in reverse. This happened due to automobile shops reversing cars after letting people test drive cars, then they'd reverse the miles and sell it as brand new. Or even worse, buy a car with a lot of miles, remove them, and then resell them as new. Ferris wasn't being dumb or a teenager, just not realizing that Ferrari was new enough to be made with that in mind. It's basically common knowledge versus specialized knowledge.

    I must say to the chap who had a moment about how the actors in this timeless movie have aged 35+ years. I want him to know I appreciate his moment there. I suppose all that’s left is what Ferris says twice: “Life moves pretty fast…” as well as what he says once: “It’s over! Go home.” That’s the short and the short of it. Hang in there and keep watching these glorious 80s movies - it’s good for your health! No lie.

    18.09 - No. Odometer cannot be rolled back by putting vehicle in reverse. Prior to the early 2000s, you had to manually roll back the numbers on a mechanical instrument whose purpose was to capture the distance a vehicle traveled. This meant actually removing instrument panel.

Katie Bueller’s Chrysler LeBaron bore VCTN (National Lampoon’s Vacation); Jeannie’s Pontiac Fiero displayed TBC (The Breakfast Club); Tom Bueller's Audi 5000 S Turbo had MMOM (Mr. Mom); and Mr Rooney's Plymouth wore 4FBDO. The Frye Ferrari famously wore the NRVOUS license plate to signify the family’s anxious disposition.

    How crazy is it that this film is closer to 1950 than 2023 now...blows my mind.
    Something I miss about John Hughes is he always filmed around Chicago. Rarely do directors film anywhere other than California (now they film in Canada posing as NYC or even Montana etc, yeah seriously) and just fake it. His films have a completely different atmosphere. I mean when they film in California is lacks seasons. Chicago has those large schools and museums and seasons which means characters having a bigger appreciation for summer and whiter Christmas's and large live oak trees canopying along the roads etc..just something I don't think viewers think about. It's harder to film in such climates but it's worth it, more impactful. Things happen you can't even predict, the struggle is felt. I mean imagine if Rocky was filmed in LA..there'd be no steam coming out of his mouth.
